2017.5 OPEL AMPERA E low beam

182Driving and operatingmirror, when detecting objects that
may not be visible in the interior and
exterior mirrors.
The radar distance sensors are
located in the rear bumper.9 Warning
Side blind spot alert does not
replace driver vision.
The system does not detect:
● vehicles outside the side blind zones which may be rapidly
approaching
● pedestrians, cyclists or animals
Before changing a lane, always
check all mirrors, look over the
shoulder and use the turn signal.
When the system detects a vehicle in the side blind zone while driving
forwards, either while passing a
vehicle or being passed, a yellow
warning symbol F will illuminate in
the relevant exterior mirror. If the
driver then activates the turn signal,
the warning symbol F starts
flashing yellow as a warning not to
change lanes.
When the vehicle is started, both
exterior mirror displays will briefly illuminate to indicate that the system
is operating.
The system can be activated or
deactivated in the Info display.
Vehicle personalisation 3 92.
Deactivation is indicated by a
message in the Driver Information
Centre.
Detection zones
The detection zones start at the rear
bumper and extend approx.
three metres rearwards and to the
sides. The height of the zone is
approx. between half a metre and
two metres off the ground.
Side blind spot alert is designed to ignore stationary objects, e.g.
guardrails, posts, curbs, walls and
beams. Parked vehicles or oncoming
vehicles are not detected.
Fault
Occasional missed alerts can occur
under normal circumstances and will
increase in wet conditions.
Side blind spot alert does not operate when the left or right corners of the
rear bumper are covered with mud,
dirt, snow, ice, slush, or in heavy
rainstorms. Cleaning instructions
